Description

HANDLE ASSEMBLY FOR DUAL-BEARING REEL AND DUAL-BEARING REEL <br> <br> <br> Patents - stay tuned to the technology HANDLE ASSEMBLY FOR DUAL-

The present invention relates to a dual bearing reel having a handle assembly and a handle assembly of a dual bearing reel mountable on a handle shaft rotatably supported on a reel body of a dual bearing reel mountable on a fishing rod.

The dual bearing reel is provided with a handle assembly for rotating the spool in the line-winding direction. The handle assembly is mounted on a handle shaft rotatably supported on the reel unit. The handle assembly is normally used when the spool is continuously rotated in the fishing line winding direction and the fishing line is wound on the spool. However, when fishing is performed, it may be necessary to perform an operation of winding up the fishing line slightly. For example, in the case where a fishing line is taken up to relieve the slack of a fishing line, when the clutch mechanism (mechanism) is returned from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state after casting, and when the lure (artificial bait) The spool may be slightly rotated in the line-winding direction in some cases.

When the spool is slightly rotated in the fishing line retracting direction in this way, the fishing line retracting operation can not be instantaneously performed when the fishing line is wound using the handle assembly. That is, even with the double handle type handle assembly, since the handle handle is disposed 180 degrees apart from each other, the handle handle is not easily positioned, making it difficult to operate the handle assembly instantaneously. Therefore, it has been conventionally known that a drag control member called a star drag is provided with an auxiliary operation portion for turning the handle shaft with a hand having a fishing rod (for example, see Patent Document 1). In the conventional drag adjusting member, the auxiliary operating portion is provided at the distal end of a plurality of radially projecting drag operation portions. The auxiliary operation portion is provided so as to approach the reel main body side.

Japanese Patent No. 3967661 Specification

In the conventional configuration, the handle shaft is rotated in the line-winding direction by using the drag adjusting member. Therefore, depending on the degree of adjustment of the drag force by the drag adjusting member (for example, the drag force is weakened), there is a fear that only the drag adjusting member is turned and the handle shaft is not turned. Therefore, the handle shaft can not be reliably rotated in the line-winding direction by the hand on the opposite side of the hand having the handle assembly.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to instantaneously and reliably rotate the handle shaft in the line-winding direction by the hand on the opposite side of the hand for operating the handle assembly.

The handle assembly of the dual bearing reel according to the first aspect of the present invention is a handle assembly rotatably mounted on a handle shaft rotatably supported on a reel unit of a dual bearing reel mountable on a fishing rod. The handle assembly includes a handle arm and a handle knob.

At least one arm portion extends radially outward from the mounting portion. The plurality of protrusions are arranged around the mounting portion, and protrude outward in the radial direction and are disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction. The plurality of connecting portions connect the plurality of projecting portions. The handle knob is rotatably mounted on the tip of the arm.

In this handle assembly, the plurality of protrusions connected by the connecting portion are arranged around the mounting portion, and protrude outward in the radial direction and are disposed at intervals in the peripheral direction. Thereby, the plurality of protruding portions or the arm portions can be operated by the hand opposite to the hand for operating the handle assembly, and the number of operable portions is increased. Therefore, it is possible to instantaneously and reliably rotate the handle shaft in the line-winding direction by the hand on the opposite side of the hand for operating the handle assembly.

The handle assembly of the dual bearing reel according to the second aspect of the present invention is the handle assembly according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein a space is formed between the mounting portion, the projection portion and the connecting portion. In this case, it is possible to instantaneously and surely rotate the handle shaft in the fishing line retracting direction with the hand opposite to the hand for operating the handle assembly by the minimum shape suppressing the weight increase.

A dual bearing reel handle assembly according to a third aspect of the present invention is the handle assembly according to the first or second aspect of the present invention in which the dual bearing reel has a drag adjusting member for adjusting the drag mechanism and the drag mechanism around the handle shaft , The protruding portion can be disposed closer to the reel main body than the drag adjusting member. In this case, since the projecting portion is disposed at a position closer to the reel main body than the drag adjusting member, the operation can be further facilitated by the hand on the opposite side of the hand operating the handle assembly.

A handle assembly of a dual bearing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the handle assembly according to the third aspect of the invention, wherein the mounting portion can be attached to the handle shaft on the side closer to the reel main body than the drag adjusting member. In this case, since the entire handle arm is disposed closer to the reel main body than the drag adjusting member, the shape of the handle arm becomes simple. Further, the distance between the handle arm and the reel main body is shortened, and the handle arm can be easily turned.

A handle assembly of a dual bearing reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the handle assembly according to the third aspect of the present invention, wherein the mounting portion can be attached to the handle shaft at a position farther from the reel unit than the drag adjusting member. In this case, even if the arrangement of the drag adjusting member and the handle assembly is the same as that of a conventional dual bearing reel, it is possible to instantaneously and surely rotate the handle shaft in the fishing line pulling direction with the hand opposite to the hand for operating the handle assembly.

A handle assembly of a dual bearing reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the handle assembly according to any one of the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, wherein the projection portion can protrude radially outward from the fishing rod mounting side of the reel main body. In this case, since the protruding portion protrudes outward in the radial direction from the fishing rod mounting side of the reel main body, it is possible to easily rotate the handle shaft in the fishing line pulling direction simply by extending the finger on the opposite side from the hand for operating the handle assembly.

The fixing bolt (44) is screwed to the female screw portion (30c) formed on the end surface of the handle shaft (30). A spring washer 47 for preventing rotation of the fixing bolt 44 is mounted between the fixing bolt 44 and the operating member 3b.

The pressing member 3c is disposed between the handle arm 2a and the nut 3a. As the nut 3a moves in the axial direction, the pressing force of the pressing member 3c changes. The pressing member 3c has two disc springs 50, for example. The pressing member 3c presses the pressing plate 38 through the handle arm 2a and the inner ring 40a. The drag force is adjusted by the pressing force of the pressing member 3c. The pressing plate 38 is integrally rotatably connected to the handle shaft 30. Further, the pressing plate 38 is integrally rotatably connected to the inner ring 40a of the one-way clutch 40.

The inner ring 40a of the one-way clutch 40 is integrally rotatably connected to the first engaging concave portion 14f of the handle arm 2a. The inner ring 40a is prevented from being released by the regulating member 56 fixed to the handle arm 2a by two mounting bolts 48. [ The inner ring 40a has a first engaging projection 40b at one end which is engaged with the first engaging recess 14f. Thereby, the rotation of the handle arm 2a is transmitted to the inner ring 40a. The inner ring 40a has a second engaging projection 40c which is engaged with the pressing plate 38 at the other end. The rotation of the handle assembly 2 is transmitted to the handle shaft 30 through the inner ring 40a and the pressing plate 38. [

The drag mechanism 21 further includes a drag operation sound generating mechanism 49 for generating a sound by the operation of the drag adjusting member 3. [ The drag operation sound generating mechanism 49 has a sound generating member 49a integrally rotatably mounted on the handle shaft 30 and a striking member 49b pressed toward the sound generating member 49a. The striking member 49b is retractably housed in the operation member 3b toward the sound generating member 49a.

In the drag mechanism 21 having such a structure, the pressing plate 38 is pressed toward the drive gear 31 by the rotation operation of the drag adjusting member 3, so that the pressing plate 38 and the drive gear 31 So that the drag mechanism 21 brakes the spool 12. Way clutch 40 prohibits rotation of the handle shaft 30 in the fishing line delivery direction in order to operate the drag mechanism 21. [

4 and 5, the casting control mechanism 22 includes a first plate 41a and a second plate 41b arranged so as to sandwich both ends of the spool shaft 16 and a first plate 41a And a braking knob 42 for adjusting the holding force of the spool shaft 16 by the second plate 41b.

The first plate 41a on the left side of Fig. 4 is mounted on the bottom portion 33d of the mounting space 33c of the bearing mounting portion 33 and is engaged with the first end 16a of the spool shaft 16, . The second plate 41b is mounted in the cover member 9 of the second cover 6b.

5, the braking knob 42 has a circular operating portion 42a and a male screw portion 42b having a smaller diameter than the operating portion 42a. The operating portion 42a is a conical trapezoid in this embodiment. The outer circumferential side of the operating portion 42a is disposed so as to have a clearance in cooperation with the attaching / detaching operation portion 34. [ The braking knob 42 is disposed inside the handle 34a of the attaching / detaching operation portion 34. [ The male screw portion 42b is screwed to the female screw portion 33e of the bearing mounting portion 33. [ The male screw portion 42b can contact the first plate 41a.

The braking knob 42 is sealed by, for example, an O-ring-shaped sealing member 43, and braking is applied to the rotational operation. The sealing member 43 is disposed between the braking knob 42 and the bearing mounting portion 33. Thus, when the braking knob 42 is operated, the turning position of the braking knob 42 is not easily changed at that position.

<How to operate dual bearing reel>

In the normal state, the clutch yoke 35 is pressed inward (right side in Fig. 5), whereby the pinion gear 32 is moved to the engagement position. In this state, the pinion gear 32 and the engagement pin 13a of the spool shaft 16 are engaged with each other to be in the clutch-on state, and the rotational force from the handle assembly 2 is transmitted to the handle shaft 30, 31, the pinion gear 32 and the spool shaft 16 to the spool 12, and the spool 12 rotates in the line-winding direction.

In the case of fishing, the braking force is adjusted by the casting control mechanism 22 to suppress backlash. When the braking force is adjusted by the casting control mechanism 22, the braking knob 42 is rotated in the clockwise direction, for example. 5, the distance between the first plate 41a and the second plate 41b is narrowed, and the braking force against the spool shaft 16 is strengthened. On the contrary, if the brake knob 42 is rotated counterclockwise, the braking force is weakened.

When the adjustment of the braking force is finished, the clutch operating member 17 is pushed downward. Here, the clutch operating member 17 moves to the lower releasing position. The clutch yoke 35 moves outward as the clutch operating member 17 moves and the pinion gear 32 engaged with the clutch yoke 35 is also moved in the same direction. As a result, engagement between the pinion gear 32 and the engagement pin 13a of the spool shaft 16 is released, and the clutch is turned off. In this clutch off state, the rotation from the handle shaft 30 is not transmitted to the spool 12 and the spool shaft 16, so that the spool 12 is freely rotated. The clutch is turned off and the reel is inclined so that the spool shaft 16 follows the vertical plane while the first cover 6a is held and the spool 12 is thumbed by the thumb of the palm The fishing line is lowered. Then, the weight of the terminal tackle causes the spool 12 to rotate in the fishing line delivery direction, and the fishing line is delivered.

At this time, for example, when the tool reaches the seabed so that the fishing line is loosened, an operation of rotating the handle arm 2a in the fishing line retracting direction is performed in order to solve the slackness of the fishing line. When this operation is carried out, the first cover 6a is grasped and phammed to extend, for example, the middle finger of a hand having a fishing rod. Then, the protruding portion 14c or the arm portion 14b provided on the handle arm 2a is pressed in the fishing line retracting direction by the middle finger extending. As a result, the handle arm 2a can be rotated in the line-winding direction to wind the fishing line on the spool 12, thereby relieving the slack of the fishing line. Thus, the fishing line can be wound around the spool 12 without operating the handle knob 2b of the handle arm 2a.

When the spool 12 is pulled out from the reel unit 1, the first cover 6a is removed from the first side plate 5a by operating the attaching / detaching operation unit 34. [ At this time, holding the handle 34a and turning the attaching / detaching operation portion 34 from the mounting position indicated by the solid line in Fig. 6 to the releasing position indicated by the two-dot chain line, the baronet mechanism 23, The fitting is released, and the first cover 6a can be peeled off. Thereby, the spool 12 can be drawn out through the opening 5d.

When the spool 12 is to be mounted, the spool 12 is inserted into the frame 5 through the opening 5d. Then, the first cover 6a is attached to the first side plate 5a, and the handle is gripped to turn the attaching / detaching operation portion 34 from the releasing position to the attaching position. At this time, it is possible to identify that the attaching / detaching operation portion 34 is disposed at the mounting position by contacting the stepped portion 6f formed on the first cover 6a.
